Oink Oink...OINK!

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around.
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives.
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

Beautiful Mess

An interesting thing about the following song(s). The lovely Belinda has recorded an English version of her song "Ni Freud Ni Tu Mamá," titled "If We Were." Now, that's not special. It happens often when Latin artists are trying to cross over into the American market. The interesting thing is that the lyrics of these two songs are completely different! If I had not first "heard" both of these songs, judging from the lyrics alone I would have never guessed that they were meant to be somewhat equivalent.

Ni Freud Ni Tu Mamá

No me lo puedes dar (You can't give it to me)
Hablar de ti me pone mal (Talking about you messes me up)
Nunca fui Freud, ni tampoco tu mamá (I was never Freud, nor your mother)
No te puedo cambiar (I can't change you)
Ni hacerte madurar (Nor make you grow up)

Lo hago por mí, yo soy así (I do it for me, that's how I am)
Ya lo intenté (I tried already)
Disculpa, no hay culpa (Forgive me, it's noone's fault)
Hazlo por ti, por no fingir (Do it for yourself, so you don't have to be fake)
Disculpa, no hay culpa. (Forgive me, it's noone's fault)
...
Lo cierto es que no hay espera (The truth is that there is no waiting)
Porque la vida en un segundo se va (Because life can be gone in a second)
No te puedo cambiar (I can't change you)
Ni hacerte madurar (Nor make you grow up)

Hay amores que destruyen (There are loves that destroy)
Lo que somos, lo que fuimos (What we are, what we were)
Y no lo puedes cambiar (And it can't be changed)

If We Were

I'd build you up
I'd be the best
You'd have it all
If we were, if we were
You'd never be
So damn depressed
If we were, if we were
I'd build you up
You'd never rest
If we were, if we were
We'd be the most beautiful mess
If we were forever...

You don't realize what your missing
All the huggin', all the kissin'
Shut up and listen to me

But we're not
I forgot

I don't belong here

How do I slow down?
I can't relate to my heart now
I've thrown what I know is enough for me out
I'm running on empty...

I've gotta find some way
To fumble right through this new heartache
It's torn me apart
Oh lovesick mistake
Turn me away...

I think I'll disappear
Leave my head in the air
For a chance to feel
So far far away from here
I know I can't stay too long...

Ooo~
I don't belong here...

Lovesick Mistake by Erin McCarley

Not Your Type

I'm sure she doesn't know
How to touch you like I would
I beat her at that one good
Don't you think so?

She's almost 6 feet tall
She must think I'm a flea
I'm really a cat you see
And it's not my last life at all

Hey hey

So don't bother
I won't die of deception
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't feel sorry

So don't bother, I'll be fine,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Promise you won't ever see me cry

And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type,
not your type, not your type, not your type
Promise you won't ever see me cry

My Shoulder Angel Bites!

I've lost my sense of right and wrong,
When justified, my soul to carry on.
I feel so damn good to write off the rules,
but when a new day breaks, I'm left a fool.
I'm such a fool.

Pain takes my heart's place,
Your sweet, sweet love,
I can taste it,
But still can't face it.

Pitter-pat, the angel on my shoulder is haunting me tonight.
Tick-tock, the clock is getting louder, ready for me to decide.
The angel on my shoulder is haunting me tonight.
Tick-tock, the clock is getting louder, ready for me to decide.

The sun is coming down on me;
Could fate be so unkind?

The itch on my brain

Shackle and chained
My soul feels stained
I can't explain, got an itch on my brain
Lately my whole aim is to maintain
And regain control of my mainframe
My blood's boiling, it's beatin' out propane
My train of thoughts more like a runaway train
I'm in a fast car drivin' in a fast lane
In the rain and I might just hydroplane
...
Emotions are trapped, set on lock
Got my brain stuck goin' through the motions
Only I know what's up
I'm filled up with pain
Tryin' to gain my sanity
Everywhere I turn, it's a dead end in front of me
With nowhere to go gotta shake this anxiety
Got me feelin' strange, paranoia took over me
And it's weighin' me down
And I can't run any longer, yo
Knees to the ground

I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from Uzi's
I've been dealing with something that's worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and that's the
The anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoia brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety

Big Cry
by Sara Evans

Give me a sad song that I can hold on to
Anything to set me free
Just one big cry, big tears in my eyes
To wash you away from me

I need a night all by myself
Got some things I need to work out
I got this fever that just won't break
I got some troubles I got to shake
Give me, give me

Give me a sad song that I can hold on to
Anything to set me free
Just one big cry, big tears in my eyes
To wash you away from me

I know, I know I'm gonna have to cleanse my soul
If I'm ever gonna get back on my way
One night, one night, one dark and lonely night
And then will come a brighter day
Just give me one night, one night, one dark and lonely night
And then will come a brighter day

Give me a sad song that I can hold on to
Anything to set me free
Just one big cry, big tears in my eyes
To wash you away from me
